Festool batteries keep your cordless kit working all day, not dying mid-cut. Pick the right Festool battery pack for runtime, power draw, and how hard you use it.
When you're on install or second fix, the last thing you need is a saw or drill slowing down because you've cheaped out on power. These are genuine Festool batteries built for their cordless system, with proper cell protection, consistent output, and predictable charging. Sort the right Festool 18V batteries now and your tools stay sharp, not sluggish.
If you are trying to work out how long Festool batteries actually take to charge, or why some packs seem to last longer than others on site, our guide breaks it down clearly.
It covers Festool battery charging times, charger types, and how capacity, power draw, and rotation affect real world runtime on saws, drills, planers, and extraction.
Match the Festool battery pack to the tool load and how long you need to work between charges, not what looks cheapest on the day.
1. Capacity and Runtime
If you are mostly drilling, driving and trimming, a smaller Festool 18V li ion battery keeps weight down and still lasts. If you are on saws, planers, or heavy cutting, go up in capacity so the tool stays lively and you are not constantly swapping packs.
2. Standard vs High Power Packs
If your cordless kit is high draw, do not expect a basic pack to feel the same at the end of the day as it does at 8am. Festool high power batteries are the sensible pick for saws and anything that bogs down when the pack is struggling.
3. Bluetooth Batteries (When They Make Sense)
If you are pairing with compatible Festool extraction or want smarter control on site, Festool bluetooth batteries are worth it. If you just need power for a drill or impact driver, standard packs are often the simpler, cheaper way to keep moving.
4. How Many Packs You Actually Need
If you are on the tools daily, two batteries is the minimum, and three makes life easier when you are sharing chargers or hopping between jobs. One pack is fine for light snagging, but it will catch you out the first time you hit a run of fixings or long cuts.
These are genuine Festool batteries for the Festool cordless system. That matters because the pack electronics, charger control, and tool protection all work together, so you get consistent output and fewer early failures.
If your tools are on Festool 18V, the batteries are designed as a system fit. The main choice is capacity and pack type, so check what your tool is doing day to day and pick a pack that suits the load.
Mostly you are buying longer runtime, but bigger packs can also hold voltage better under heavy load, so tools feel less flat when you are pushing saws hard. For high draw tools, stepping up is noticeable on site.
They are worth it if you are using compatible Festool extraction or want the extra control and integration. If you just need a Festool battery for drill or impact driver use, standard packs are usually the sensible spend.
Keep them dry, avoid leaving them cooking on the dashboard, and store them so the terminals cannot get bridged by loose fixings. Rotate packs rather than running one into the ground every day, and use the correct Festool battery charger so charge cycles stay clean.
Festool power tool batteries are more than a box of cells. The pack, tool, and charger work as a set to manage heat, output, and charge speed, which is why genuine packs behave properly on site.
1. Voltage Stays the Same, Capacity Changes the Working Time
Most Festool cordless batteries in this range are 18V, so they fit the same system. The difference is amp hour capacity, which is what drives Festool battery runtime and how often you will be swapping packs on saws, drills, and impact drivers.
2. Battery Management Protects the Pack and the Tool
Festool li ion batteries use built-in electronics to prevent overheat, over-discharge, and abuse that kills packs early. On the job that means steadier power delivery and fewer packs that suddenly drop off a cliff after a few months.
3. Charging is Part of the System
Festool battery charging is designed around the correct Festool battery charger, so charge times and pack life stay consistent. If you are rotating packs all day, a second charger is often a better spend than trying to limp through on one.
A couple of add-ons make a bigger difference than you think when you are rotating packs all day.
If you are running saws or high draw kit, one charger quickly becomes the bottleneck. A spare Festool battery charger stops you queuing packs at lunch and losing an hour waiting for charge.
A proper mount keeps Festool cordless batteries secure in the van and stops packs getting smashed about in a box of fixings. It also makes it obvious what is charged and what is dead when you are loading out at 6am.
Whether you need a single Festool battery replacement or you are stocking up on genuine Festool batteries for a full cordless set-up, we have the range ready to go, including different capacities and system options. It is all held in our own warehouse, in stock and ready for next day delivery so you are not stood on site waiting for power.
